That looks great, both the cheese and the crumb!
Boxes and boxes of X-Men and X-adjacent comics. Collecting since 1986, chasing all the X-books - getting close to the finish line. Favs are both Wolverines, Storm, Nightcrawler, Kitty Pryde. Also weird 80’s indie comics. Also cooking/recipe shares.

That looks great, both the cheese and the crumb!
I’ve been working on a focaccia, but not the longer proof bubbly kind - it’s a spongier version (if that makes sense). And I haven’t done a cheese focaccia - what kind of cheese(s) do you like you use?
You’re very welcome! After I posted it thought to myself that it’s more about Peach Momoko’s process and includes Ultimate X-amen, not just focused on that comic. So even better? And pls watch at your leisure
Here it is, just in case. And for anyone who may have made it this far down in the convo. youtu.be/VFC6qBG9q5Q?...
Great point, I’m enjoying UW as well. Did you happen to watch that YouTube video where ComicTropes interviewed Peach Momoko about Ultimate X-Men? It was fascinating.
That would be really cool. Continue to love this comic. And maybe the best example I’ve seen of why you can’t just give the readers what they want. I (and so many others) had no idea I wanted or needed this kind of X-title.
I’m so looking forward to reading this one, and what a cool cover!
I really do appreciate the no knead recipes, and that someone else took the time to figure them out. The beauty of there also being good bread recipes out there for pretty much every level of experience and consideration.
And if you want to make straight soda bread, I really love this recipe from the Mary Makes It Easy food network show It’s the recipe that turned out so well it gave me the courage to try making bread with yeast www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/soda...
Made Soda Bread Focaccia today 🍜🍽️ #homecooking With no yeast eats more like a soda bread than a bubbly focaccia. But a great way for anyone intimidated by yeast baking (like I was) to make tasty bread. Recipe pic incl I added the sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, pepitas
Thank you for sharing the recipe, saved it and plan on making it. I’m not sure I’ve made a bread yet with semolina (and def not durum flour) so that’ll be fun.
Sincerely, that looks really good to me! Now I need to do a super sesame-coated bread.
This makes me happy, because it is one of the main reasons I wrote THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO JAPANESE YOKAI. I wanted a one volume book that anyone playing a game or reading a comic or watching a cartoon could use as a reference to learn more. It's the most comprehensive English language yokai book.
Commission of Ms. Marvel Kamala Khan in her XMen uniform ! Drawn at Dragon*Con. Thank you to everyone for such a great show! #traditionalart
I prefer the Cajun version of Cujeaux (what I came here for but you beat me to the punchline)
This one is crazy! I rewatched The Wizard a year or so ago and completely missed him.
Cuba Gooding Jr., best known as Boy Getting Haircut in Coming to America (1988)
That all looks great, well done!
Thanks, lots of mishaps/experimenting along the way. Think I’m finally there (for me).
Happy Letterer Appreciation Day! You know whose lettering I really love? Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou Started reading The Cull, after a few pages had to stop to see who was lettering. See below - other pages better examples, but too much plot Aside: The Cull is a beautifully written and drawn series
I think Thinner is about a young hippo
Here’s a direct link to the pizza crust recipe I used (not my recipe) If you’ve been putting off making your own crust for no real reason, like I was, this one’s easier than you think (mixing, no kneading). Very detailed description of each step, plus a video sugarspunrun.com/the-best-piz...
Made green pepper, red onion, garlic pizza today. And think it’s as good as I’m able to get this crust using a regular (non-pizza) oven. Contentedly retiring the post it notes after a dozen or so bakes [cue music] Excellent no-knead crust recipe (w/video) on the Sugar Spun Run site 🍜 #homecooking
Ha, mine (adult son) too! He’s 100% honest about my cooking/baking. Which is why I’ll usually give 2 or 3 choices when I cook for him. So he gets something he likes/wants, can share a small part of the blame if it’s not that great.
Thank you, looking forward to trying it! I love the mixing and matching. Recently tried a recipe for soda bread focaccia, and it was a tasty combo of the two.
Well done, that looks really good!
This looks fantastic! I make my own pizza dough and focaccia - really need to try this combo. Is it as simple as I think it is? Focaccia dough recipe then pizza toppings before the bake? Or do you par-bake? And I’m assuming a bit lighter on the sauce? TYIA
Pumpkin spice
Tribbles quibbles? It’s all ok. They understand.
I quick-read that as fennel cake with cheese curds and I’m so glad I was wrong…
Awesome, glad it hit home! And that’s a rare (prob not too intentional?) message from back then. Gotta post that history.
My son is markedly anti superhero movies, but humors me. We have lots in common, always a journey.
Here you go, back of the issue. Whenever I post this, pouch and feet jokes abound. Not his first published work, I think, but first in a major comics publisher
[searching picture database..]
Oh very cool! We just plant the seeds and hope they sprout. But if not, it’s a bit sad but we have to be ok with that. From my Dad found a love for antique maps. I’m just glad my son found stuff he loves to read. When he graduated college he went to Japan, which I thought was really cool.
Ha, definitely! At one point I even showed him my Boris the Bear #6, which had the Liefeld pin-up fan art in the back of that book. Have you seen that one?
Nice -I bet having the X-Men standup arcade game couldn’t have hurt!
He still has this FF #45 and a bunch of other ones I got him when he was collecting FF. Never did get him a #48, but he still has the #52 I got him before the Black Panther movie news broke
My son looks it over, proceeds to talk about a bunch of stuff he had memorized about Lockjaw from the Marvel Encyclopedia, then mimics my regular line saying “Is there anything you can do with the price?” Big Time Dealer winks at me, says “Hey it’s your lucky day, this one happens to be on sale”
Ok proud papa moment: after trailing me at cons for a couple years, my son decided he really wanted to buy first Lockjaw: FF #45. Saved the cash, was 10 yrs old, asked a Big Wall Dealer if he could see a nice copy he spotted. Dealer says: This is an expensive book, be careful…
Btw I support him liking his own stuff. Heck, my Dad was pushing Jonathan Swift on me like nobody’s business!
This is good advice, but he’s into manga now. Did my best by having him piggyback on my pull list early, starting with Lockjaw and FF. Then he liked Deadpool, let him read that prob too early and gave him my NM98 off the rack. I battled valiantly…
He was so good! And I don’t even bother trying to explain to my son (now 22 yrs) how big Jean-Claude Van Damme was back then. And how much he made me want to learn how to do the splits.
Have no idea whether this specific piece traveled with the exhibition to Europe (I saw it in Philly in 2019). But it’ll be in Ludwigsburg, Germany in October this year if you’re near there! www.semmel-exhibitions.com/marvel-unive...
I feel like I’ve already shared this where you’ve seen it, but memory being what it is figured it couldn’t hurt to post here just in case
The Marvel traveling exhibit I went to had what they said was the only known surviving OA page from this issue. It was at the very beginning of the exhibit and it was so hard leaving that room! Sharing so others can see it too.
After posting this I went and listened to it for the first time in at least a couple years. It’s so wild.
I use this same recipe, it’s amazing! I’d thought about making bagels for years, lucked out finding this recipe. Having an Everything Bagel whenever I want without opening the door is truly one of the great joys in my life!
I’m contractually not allowed to say Exquisite Corpses, and while I’m definitely not saying Exquisite Corpses, I’m not NOT saying Exquisite Corpses…
Sweet pickup, congrats!
Did I staab thaaaat? (what popped into my head immediately)
This is an actual Pink Floyd song and I really want to see a Reaction Video to this one

If you see this, post an Image Comics cover you love. Day 43
Loved this game so much!!
Sweet banana gumbo with a side of scrambled eggs!
That sounds and looks really tasty! Now I want a skillet of goodness.
Here’s the Chicken Jalfrezi recipe I used. Only changes I made were adding 1 cup chicken broth, half a chopped green pepper, 2 chopped shishito peppers Made it in the Dutch oven, that worked really well www.allrecipes.com/recipe/28372...
Made Chicken Jalfrezi for the first time for dinner tonight using chicken thighs, over basmati rice. Really nice strong flavors, I’ll put the recipe below in case anyone was curious. 🍜 🍽️ #homecooking
Sweet, congrats on the success! I know you’ll put it to good use, look forward to seeing what you get.
The side missions are so much fun and in a lot of ways more exciting than plugging away at big runs (or the one big run in my case). And getting those books in such high grade is a big, patient chase. I’d imagine - my target was usually a chunk (or two) lower. Especially that time period.
Happy Wings and Dip Season to those who celebrate. Big American college football kickoff is today, then NFL starts on Thursday. Hope springs eternal. (pics for celebration purposes only, wings from prev seasons)
Holy cow, congrats! A book that old with a red spine a 9.6 is pretty insane. Special condition for sure.
Love it! Have a good rest of the night/morning
Which mutant (customer) probably spent the most time at Krakoa’s Green Lagoon tiki bar, and what did they order?
I figured you’d seen the Alan Moore one. It wasn’t as comics focused but I really appreciate the time it took to let us better understand him as a person, how he thought. I started my big dive into comics a decade later. Still good, but not as great imho.
Very cool - and you’re very welcome. I missed it until 5 yrs ago. The other one I found around then that I’m pretty sure you’d have seen is Mindscape of Alan Moore (2003). Have you seen that one?
Thanks Tommy! It was my earliest UXM for 10 years.
Enjoy! And the title is, amazingly, literal. Not only do they cover his work and influence, but they also try to find and talk to him.
Here it is! Not sure what BBC would say but this specific one’s been on there since at least the pandemic. It’s worth watching the whole thing imho but the part about #33 is at 51:08 youtu.be/3gwDnhMO8is?...
Great book! I bought a copy of this after more recently watching a 2007 BBC documentary called In Search of Steve Ditko. They spent a couple whole minutes on the brilliance of this issue.
Absolutely love this cover!
In case comics friends didn’t know about it, Vinson’s weekly post is a lot of fun, a very welcoming place to chat about comics, and my fav way to start the weekend!
I followed the sword this #TopShelfFriday here’s my earliest X-Men comic I spotted with a sword on the cover: Uncanny X-Men #34 (1967), cover by Dan Adkins Also one of a very small handful of pre-#94 issues I bought in the 80’s (incl 36, 61, 62, 72, 88, 89)
Did Logan call the bank shot though?
It’d be my first listen every Monday.
Ok, it’s mutant canon everyone. Not only is Glob Herman a chicken whisperer, but also good at basketball. #globherman #xmencomics
I did the pilgrimage to Jim Morrison’s grave in Paris, and don’t really care if people approve or not. It’s my pilgrimage not yours. The still sea conspires an armor, and that’s that.
You like comics, but just how good are you? 🤔 Can you identify the following iconic Marvel comics by only seeing ONE panel? Some will be hard, some are easy! Your job is to name as many as you can! Go through the 🧵, and comment your answers if you think you know it!
To be fair, Professor Xavier is A Jerk could be every comic that Charles appears in. But as I was doing my Claremont Run read thru I took a pic of the “next issue” teaser as well as the first page one.
The daughters of Hermann Göring's aide - who refused for years to talk with art-theft investigators - put their home in Argentina up for sale, and GUESS WHAT.
You are not lazy, you’ve done all the heavily lifting for me - it’s my turn now.
That is very true!
Oh damn - thank you Shane, I have some catching up to do! I devoured the UK shows/movies that made it across the Pond in the 80’s, will really enjoy watching these.
And I am the first to admit while I have loved and watched horror movies for decades, I haven’t delved super deeply into the convos in and around the genre. So maybe this is Horror 101, but the statement really resonated with me as a viewer of horror.
Recently listening to a podcast (can’t remember which one..) a comment was made that we’re partly getting such good horror movies atm because it’s one of the few places where writers+directors are given a lot of storytelling freedom. So, creativity. Interesting concept, right?
Thank you for this explanation! The UK part pinged my memory for sure, and of course it makes sense being a Genesis video. I was a big Genesis (both PG & PC) fan.
I had forgotten about this, it’s crazy. Can see and hear that video with my mind’s eye+ears. And wasn’t there a follow up weekly show with these puppets and various skits? Or am I imagining that?
Needed to cook a package of bacon and had a potato, so tonight made Bacon Shishito (pepper) Cheese Fries with the air fryer 🍜 #homecooking
Nice, thanks, I’ll follow your lead then.
Looks and sounds great, saved it and definitely making this thanks!
And maybe showing my age but that Darkside series scared the crap out of me growing up - watched it too young for sure.
Yes, Twilight Zone for sure. Maybe with a side of Tales from the Darkside thrown in for good measure.
So weird, and so great! I know it’s not exactly under the radar but would love for more people to get eyes on it.
I love it! Went on the pull list I swear only partway through the first issue. For my money, it’s the most original (chameleon-like) ongoing series out there. The various story/design structure approaches should be taught at universities.
Drop some SKULLS 🏴☠️💀🖤
[whispering so Gail doesn’t hear] It’s a really really good run and a great place to jump on, in terms of story.
To clarify: there’s no screen, it’s walking on the glass only. Showed this to my son and it wasn’t obvious to him, figured I’d explain.
Nice pickup! I love both the comic and the movie. Those 1980’s Marvel official movie adaption limited series really get me.
